Robertson County Runners are warming up as final preparations are being made for the annual St. Jude Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon events. MNPD officers will be working late tonight into tomorrow morning to ensure the security of the course, which runs through multiple parts of Nashville. The route along the over 26-mile course will close to traffic by 5:45 tomorrow morning with the area along lower Broadway, where the race will start closing at 3 o’clock. More than 13-thousand people are expected to participate in the full marathon, half marathon, wheelchair, or 5K races.
The Senior Awareness Service is for seniors, disabled residents, and their families who need that extra reassurance that someone cares. A deputy from the Sheriff’s Office will call once a week to check on you or your loved one and ensure their needs are being met.
Are you eligible for the SOS program?
If you are a Robertson County citizen over the age of 60 and/or disabled, you are eligible for SOS. We will accept applicants as long as resources are available.
Why would you need this program?
- If you are alone or feeling lonely.
- If you have recently been discharged from the hospital.
- If your friends and family live far away.
- If you have a need for weekly contact with a caring person.
Does this program cost anything?
No. The Senior Outreach Service is funded by the Sheriff’s Office. We have partnered with local churches, senior organizations, and volunteers to facilitate a network devoted to outreach for seniors.
What happens if I do not answer when they call?
If there is no response when we call, your emergency contact person will be contacted.
If your emergency contact does not know where you are, the Sheriff’s Office will then do a wellness check. The deputy will respond to your home and ensure your needs are being met.
